Coffee = $12
Tea = $8
Total cost = $2600
Total Case = 250

Assumed all 250 cases are Tea
250 x 8 = 2000

Difference in amount
2600 - 2000 = 600 (so $600 was from the coffee)

Difference between the price of coffee and tea
12 - 8 = $4

Number of cases of coffee
600 ÷ 4 = 150

Number of cases of tea
250 - 150 = 100

150 cases of coffee were ordered
